Thorn’s popular Oxane lantern has been updated, combining the latest technology
standards with a classic aesthetic.

Oxane has long been a popular choice for illuminating roads and streets. With its
sleek, elliptical styling, it fits seamlessly into modern cities, major highways, and
more traditional towns and villages alike. The new generation of Oxane enhances its
classic aesthetic while incorporating the benefits of upgraded LED technology, ease
of maintenance and Zhaga connectivity.

The original Oxane designer, Sweden-based Zachau Design AB, has returned to
update this classic design, adding some modern flair. Its streamlined, elliptical
concept offers a new interpretation of a luminaire design that has stood the test of
time.

Hans Philip Zachau MSc. of Zachau Design commented: “Identity, functionality, and
vitality were the guiding principles in creating this luminaire. The first generation of
Oxane made a statement with its originality and distinctiveness. The new generation
will honour these values, not only by reflecting on its origins, but also by looking into
the future. The new design is even more dynamic and slim, with crisp feature lines
that accentuate the oval theme.”

Oxane’s design is about more than just aesthetics. Circularity was a core principle in
the design of this luminaire – starting with the packaging, which is entirely plastic-
free. Oxane’s 100% recycled aluminium body uses a highly corrosion resistant alloy
and all components can be replaced or changed, using a clever and robust tool-free
opening system, for simple maintenance and upgrade. No glue is used throughout
the manufacturing process, making it easy to manage end of life as well.

Oxane is equipped with high performance LEDs able to still provide up to 98% of
their initial output after 100 000 hours of operation, making it an ideal long-term
partner to light your way. A wide range of optics are available for highly efficient and
comfortable light, exactly where it is needed, whether lighting a residential street, a
busy road, a cycle path, or a pedestrian area. With optional Zhaga connectivity,
Oxane can be combined with Thorn’s UrbaSens control platform, for an even more
tailored lighting solution.

Light pollution and obtrusive light is a global concern, but Oxane responsibly leads
the way with < 1% Upward Light Output Ratio, optional internal louvres, a number of
CCT options and NightTune compatibility. Thorn’s innovative NightTune technology
automatically adjusts lumen output and colour temperature throughout the hours of
darkness, balancing human needs whilst minimising ecological impact.
